Google “Cruz gay daughter comment” to find the NY Times article that discusses Cruz’s recent event hosted by a pair of gay Hotel magnates, in the last two days (don’t know if we are allowed to link to NY Times articles, so I didn’t post the link.)

He has stated time and again, in front of any group, that he believes gay marriage is a State’s issue.

The article quotes Reisner quoting Cruz: "If one of my daughters was gay, I would love them just as much."
